Everyone has the right to protest freely where they choose, without constraint or restraint, without imprisonment for their views, providing that the actions relating to the demonstrations are themselves legal. It is one of our essential civil liberties- the right to free protest, and the SOCA (2005) limits this by making any would-be protestors fill forms for the police and receive permission to protest within one kilometre of Parliament among othe areas. This must be repealed since it violates a civil liberty and therefore breaks part of the protocol in conjunction with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
